The invention relates to covers for toilet seats, and more especially toa protective cover made of paper or the like, and so ar- .ranged that itmay be easily and readily 5 slippedupon or removed from the toilet seatmuch the same as any envelope.` v

The object of the improvement is to provide a cover of this character,formed of a heavy but soft paper or the like, preferably such as is usedforpaper towels,` and which may be produced for a small cost and vcan bereadily placed in position for use upon a toilet seat, or removedtherefrom.

Another object of the inyention is to provide such a seat cover in thegeneral form of an envelope, comprising top and bottom portions joinedat their side edges, and also preferably at their front edges, butunjoined at their rear edges, whereby the protective cover maybe easilyand quickly slid, from front to rear, upon the ordinary toilet seat, acentral opening bein formed in the cover of substantially the size andshape of the usual opening in a toilet seat. P\

A further object is to provide such a cover as above referred to, inflat form so that the same may be placed in quantities in a suitabledispensing receptacle, and easily and conveniently removed therefrom,one at a time, for use.

A still further object is to provide such a cover which is ready for useas soon as slipped in place upon the seat, and requires no tearing oropening of perforations or the like.

Another object is the provision of open corners at the front of thecovervto provide a portion which may be easily grasped in the fingers toremove the cover from the seat.

The above and other objects, which will be readily apparent from thefollowing de- ,scrptiom may be attained by constructing the improvedseat cover in the manner illus, trated in the accompanying drawing, in

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the improved seat cover showing the samein position upon a toilet seat;

Fig3, a transverse sectional viewionthe line 33Fig.v1f; andy Fig.l 4,'afront edge elevation `0ffthe.=im proved cover'in place upon the seat.

Similar numerals 'refer to similar parts throughout the drawing. y. l

A toilet seat of any usuall and` design isi`v illustrate purpose ofshowing the application of the improved seat cover thereto, and isprowell known d `conventionally for 'the vided with the usual centralopening 10, preferably of greater width toward the rear end 11',` of theseat, and tapered toward the front end l2 thereof.

The protective cover, to which the inven tion pertains,

is made in the general form of an envelope of soft but stiff paper orthe like,

such as is generally used and the like.

This protective cover comprises generally or paper towels the top member13 and the bottom member 14, joined together at their side edges, as at15, and also preferably Vat their yfront edges, las at 16, but unjoinedat their rear edges, asl shown at 17, l

Thus' the cover may be easily and readily slippe thereof, the open rea'rend of the first slipped over the front end 'of the seat cover being andthen pushed rearward until it is positioned as shown in the drawing.

, This cover may be shaped .to generally conform to the size and shapeof the toilet seat, as best shown in "Fig, 1, and the vtop member mayhaveithe central opening 17 therein, of substantially the same size andshape as the openin -10 in the seat.

,oweror bottom member may be of d onto the seat, from front to rearsubstantially U-shape, as best shown in Fig.

1, the rear portion thereof being cut away.

as shown in broken lines at 18, in said figure,

in order to permit the cover to be more easily placed upon or removedfrom the seat.

For the purpose of easily removing the cover from the seat, each frontcorner thereofmay be open, as shown at 20, 'providinga ortion which maybe easily grasped bythe ngers to pull the cover forward and thusdisenage it from the seat. i y y e d, a tab 21 may be provided at theslre forward end of the cover to permit the same to 'be easily removedfrom the seat, or from the container in which the covers may be keptread for use.

rom t e above it will be obvious that a very simile and inexpensive,protective cover is provi ed, which has suiiiclent rigidity to permit itto be easily and quickly slipped 1nto place upon the seat, but which atthe same time 1s suciently soft to cause no discomfort 'orinconvenience, while the cover also fully covers the entire seat, thuseffectively protecting the user.

I claim 15 A cover of paper and the like for toilet seats comprising atop member and a bottom member Joined at their side 'edges and un-]'oined' at their rear` ends so as to permit the, cover to be sli pedupon a toilet seat, the zo front corners of the cover being open topermit the same to be grasped to remove the cover from the toilet seat.`

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name.l A 25 ROSE LIGHT.
